“The man who has a conscience suffers whilst acknowledging his sin. That is his punishment.”
“A man who has no conscience, no goodness, does not suffer.”
“He who repents his sin and acknowledges it, is forgiven.”
“The man who is right is a majority. He who has God and conscience on his side, has a majority against the universe.”
“A man who has not suffered has nothing to tell with his paintings.”
“Suffering has its place in the scheme of things. It serves a purpose even though the sufferer may be entirely free from the taint of sin... Among the gentlest and sweetest souls are sometimes found those who suffer much. A person that accepts his lot, does his best, loving both God and man, is a success and will experience a joy in living.”
